Mental health services in Shanghai.
To provide better mental health services for a population that now exceeds 12 million people, in the 1960s Shanghai began to develop a three-level system of services that is considered a model for the country. Services at each of the three levels--municipal, county or district, and grass roots--are described. Nonpsychiatric medical and paramedical personnel play a significant role in the delivery of services at all levels. Education of the public about mental health issues is considered a high priority.
